A rare case of upper septal fascicular ventricular tachycardia presented in a case report
DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which US-ILVT was associated with ventricular septal LGE, suggestive of previous myocarditis, as substrate of re-entrant circuit. Scar-related ventricular tachycardia circuit is also suggested by the evidence of a premature ventricular complex (PVC) as trigger of recurrent VT in our case.PMID:38354636 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101738 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Takotsubo syndrome : A cause of reversible microvascular coronary dysfunction
Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris). 2024 Feb 13;73(2):101734. doi: 10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101734. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince the first description of takotsubo syndrome 30 years ago, only a little is known on the underlying physiopathology leading to peculiar left ventricular function alteration and myocardial damage related to acute emotional or physical stress. In the present case, we used continuous invasive thermodilution to evaluate coronary microvascular function at the acute phase of takotsubo and after recovery. The acute phase of takotsubo was characterized by a reduced coronary output and altered reserved flow w...

Anomalous origin of right coronary artery from pulmonary artery associated to left main coronary stenosis
We describe herein a case of a 16 years-old female patient referred to our department for further exploration of a chest pain. Color Doppler echocardiography revealed an abnormal flow at the level of the pulmonary artery. Exercise testing was abnormal leading to further imaging including computed cardiac tomography followed by coronary angiography which showed anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ARCAPA) associated with mid shaft left main stenosis. We discuss this uncommon association and therapeutic options.PMID:38341990 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101737 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Effet blouse blanche r ésiduel : un outil pertinent en soins premiers?
CONCLUSION: Thus, OWCET was predictive of WCE and not of WCH and it is worthwhile to be measured in the family physician office.PMID:38340382 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2024.101733 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Association of a myxoma of the left atrium and a mitral stenosis : About a case
We report the case of a 53-year-old woman who consulted for dyspnea with cardiac failure's picture. The diagnosis of myxoma of the left atrium was made on echocardiography which also objectified the existence of mitral stenosis. The patient underwent surgical excision and mitral valve replacement with good postoperative outcomes.PMID:38266406 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101719 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Communication interventriculaire compliquant un infarctus de myocarde ant érieur : un cas de fermeture percutanée
CONCLUSION: Percutaneous closure has been emerged as a valid cost-effective alternative to surgery and should be advised. However, debate remains on the optimal preprocedural optimization, timing of repair and modality of treatment.PMID:38262253 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101718 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Case report : Rare case of a spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery revealing Behçet's disease in a young patient
This article presents the case of a young man diagnosed with Behçet's disease, manifested by a spontaneous pseudoaneurysm in the superficial femoral artery. The patient underwent surgical intervention to remove the pseudoaneurysm and restore circulation using a venous graft. This case underscores the importance of considering Behçet's disease in vascular manifestations.PMID:38262254 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101707 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Uncommon cause of acute coronary syndrome : Paradoxical embolism
We report three cases who presented ST-elevation MI (STEMI) due to paradoxical embolism with high risk PFO that can justify embolic infarction. The aim of this article is to define the high risk PFO, to establish causal link between PFO and embolic events and to guide therapeutic management.PMID:38262255 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101721 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)

Vascular age and cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients followed at the heart institute
CONCLUSION: The calculation of vascular age made it possible to assess arterial aging and calculate the probability at 10 years of occurrence of a cardiovascular event. This study also highlights the importance of cardiovascular risk and vascular age assessment for management adaptation and therapeutic education.PMID:38070449 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101678 (Source: Annales de Cardiologie et d'Angeiologie)
